Brad Pitt has said he would like to work with Penélope Cruz and Javier Bardem, according to ELLE. The 62-year-old actor made the remark while discussing the Spanish performers he hopes to share a screen with, the outlet reports. In the same comments, Pitt said he would be glad to take on any project involving the pair.

Pitt's comments came during a visit to the San Sebastián film festival, which drew heavy attention from Spanish media. El Diario Vasco described the trip as a major event and noted that confidentiality agreements were part of the arrangements surrounding it. El País reported crowds and enthusiasm around Pitt at the festival, where a new film by Jesse Eisenberg was also screened. Atresplayer, meanwhile, aired a segment in which Juan Sanguino went through gossip surrounding Pitt's time in the city.
Cruz and Bardem are a married couple as well as frequent co-stars, though the reporting summarized here does not say whether either has responded to Pitt's remark or whether any project has been discussed.
